Answer 1

Since you don't have access to the server, you should be able to make a simple request (http or ssh) to gitolite, and you would get a greeting message which includes the gitolite message.

# normal output
return "hello$gl_user, this is " . ( $ENV{USER} || "httpd" ) . "\@$hn running gitolite3 " . version() . " on git $gv\n";

For example:

ssh git@server info
hello u3, this is git@server running gitolite3 v3.0-11-g090b0f5 on git 1.7.7.6
